#446: Can't set path to tools in ~/.cabal/config ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: awick | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The config file for cabal-install lets me set all sorts of useful paths, except for the non-compiler tools. In other words, there's no config file mapping for the --with-PROG or --PROG-options flags, which would be really convenient. (At least, when I tried the obvious versions, it didn't work. Maybe missing docs somewhere?) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/446> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal): Improve the error message for missing foreign libs and make it fatal

Sat Jan 31 10:48:13 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Improve the error message for missing foreign libs and make it fatal The check should now be accurate enough that we can make it an error rather than just a warning.

patch applied (cabal): Use the cc, cpp and ld options when checking foreign headers and libs

Sat Jan 31 10:40:16 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Use the cc, cpp and ld options when checking foreign headers and libs In partiular this is needed for packages that use ./configure scripts to write .buildinfo files since they typically do not split the cpp/cc/ldoptions into the more specific fields.

[Hackage] #480: "cabal list" fails after "cabal update"

#480: "cabal list" fails after "cabal update" ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: Mac OS | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I've got cabal-install version 0.5.2 and Cabal version 1.4.0.2. After doing a "cabal update", "cabal list" fails with the following error: {{{ ... * GeoIp Latest version available: 0.3 Category: Network Synopsis: Pure bindings for the MaxMind IP database. License: OtherLicense cabal: Couldn't read cabal file "./Glob/0.1/Glob.cabal" }}} I looked at some version numbers, and it ''seems'' like some version of GeoIp is confusing the tools. On another machine (Arch Linux, not Mac OSX) I built a new 1.6.0.1, did "cabal update" and then "cabal list" and it worked fine. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/480> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

[Hackage] #454: file permissions of executable on vista

#454: file permissions of executable on vista ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: Toxaris | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When installing a binary on Windows Vista using ghc 6.10.1 and Cabal 1.6.0.1, it is not accessible for ordinary users. Old binaries installed with ghc 6.8.2 and Cabal 1.4 had "read" and "execute" permissions set for "all users", while new binaries have only permissions set for "administrators". Cabal should set "read" and "execute" permissions for "all users" for binaries. A workaround is to manually set these permissions using the executable's properties dialog. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/454> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
